Hillary and Co., Roscoff, department de Fi- Nsterre, appointing them as your agents here, from whom L lye to draw cash to defray my expences here. I will leave this in a few days, either by way of Guernsey or Plymouth, Qs there will he a conveyance fur both places in two or three ti4 Y , . and hope I shall soon see you in Loedon to give you further information. The sale of the ship and cargo of the Isl ura is appointed for the !tut instant, as I hear they have alot succeeded in getting the ship off. I ant, &e. JAMES FRASER. THE SIR JOSEPH BANKS.

BRIG PERSEVERANCE. —On the mornin;. , , of Sa turday last, about half-past two, the brig Per severance, PH [LIP, of this port, from Pictmu, with timber, having, as is said, mistaken a tin the shcre, near lielhelvie, for, the light on the Pier-head, was put ashore on the sands there.— The master and crew took to their boat, together with a man and woman passengers, in all tem per sons ; when, in making for the shore, the boar swamped betwixt Collieston and Newburgh, and melancholy to rehte, five of the crew, with the two p ASsengers, perished. The Captain, carpen ter, and one ot the crew, with difficidty saved themselves. ‘Ve are unwilling to aggravate the o t an y o n e concerned. in this distressing calain'ty ; but we inns( be petmitted to say, that not but infatnation could have actuated the caster „t abpinclon her in the situa tioo in which she lay, to commit his own life, and the lives of those on board, to a small and insufficient boat, at a time when the sliAtebt danger could hardly have bee►► anticipated tton► remaining with his vessel ; the best proof of which is, that she tioatrd off next title, and was brought round in safety , to the harbour, and with no other damage than what arose from the neg ligence of the master or crew, in leaving a light burning on hoard, when they abandoned the ship, whereby a l►art of her decks we're tonitimed, cable htirnt, &e.

BENBow, who had been con fined under a similar charge, and who, we be lieve, is a shoemaker, and resided formerly in -Manchester. Mrs. LEANS, who has been in the daily habit of visiting her son and huiitand, went on Tuesday to Horsemonger-lane prison, and at four o'clock, when she came away, had not the slightest notion that either of them would be liberated : but a very short time alter she had arrived at home, both her huslyind and her goo, who had been confined about 50 weeks, returned. We understand that a very short time after boar o'clock, a King's Messenger arrived at Horse. monger-lane Prison, with official orders from Lord SIDMOUTH to liberate the State Prisoners, and directed to the Governor of the Gaol. The Governor in person then went to the two EVANSBS and formally delivered the orders he had received. These orders were immediately com plied with, anti they quitted the prison.

This day being remarkably fine, her Majesty, Princess Elizabeth, and the Ladies in Waiting, rode out in a coach and four au the Maidenhead-road, and returned to the Castle to dinner. Princess Augusta, with her attendants, took an airing on horseback in the Park. On Tuesday, the 14th inst. the tail of Aber (leen was broke, and four of the prisoners escaped. It appears to have been effected by means of an accomplice, who had contrived to secret himself in the place where the bell is rung, from which having penetrated through a strong arch to the room below, where the culprits were confined, they thus got easily to the leaded part of the roof of tile New Inn, from which they tval descended by the bell-rope, which was found suspended in the morning. One of them, of the name of M'Craw, surrendered himself in the forenoon, but the other three are still at large. On Wednesday the 14th instant, about one o'clock, a respectable manufacturer Iron, Huffily, in Aberdeen on business, rose, and in his sleep drew the window of his bed-room, in a house in. the Gallowgate, and was precipitated from the second floor, on the stone steps at the entry door below, and had his skull fractured in the most shocking mannur. A' medical Gentleman imme diately attended, but the unfortunate sufferer was so severely injured,- that nothing could be done for him, and be expired abou,t two bouts after- • wards.
